Mounting NFS filesystems using /etc/fstab on OS X 10.5
From OS X Scientific Computing

[edit]
Create an /etc/fstab file
sudo touch /etc/fstab
Populate it with entries such as
my.computer.com:/Users /foobar nfs -i,-P,-b 0 0
man fstab
for details on what syntax to use for these entries.

Restart the Automounter
If you haven't messed with anything, you can probably skip this step, but for the record,
sudo automount -cv
[edit]
Check it
cd /foobar
This should automount the remote file system as /foobar
df -h | grep foobar
should give output like
map -static 0Bi 0Bi 0Bi 100% /foobar my.computer.com:/Users 115Gi 84Gi 31Gi 73% /foobar
[edit]
Tweak for non-OS X filesystems
The good folks at Apple suggested I do the following to make automounts work for my linux and sun filesystems:
Change
AUTOMOUNTD_MNTOPTS=nosuid,nodev
in /etc/autofs.conf to
AUTOMOUNTD_MNTOPTS=nosuid,nodev,resvport
Back to NFS on OS X 10.5
